Abstract
New field investigations along the East Tunisian coastline reveal sedimentary deposits and damaged localities that may account for a catastrophic event during the late Holocene. North of Sfax city, ~ 3.4 m high cliff coastal marine and alluvial terraces show 20 to 50-cm-thick chaotic layer with sandy coarse gravels mixed with reworked pebbles, broken shells of gastropods and molluscs, organic matter and Roman pottery. The chaotic layer truncates sandy-silty paleosol, covers Roman settlements and is overlain by fire remains, a thin sandy-silty aeolian unit and ~ 1-m-thick alluvial deposits. Charcoal samples collected at 10 cm below and 4 cm above the catastrophic deposits provide radiocarbon dating that brackets the catastrophic unit between 286 and 370 CE. Other historical investigations on the Roman sites of Neapolis (Nabeul), Hadrumete (Sousse), Thyna (Sfax), Meninx in Girba (Djerba), Wadi Ennouili (Gulf of Gabes), and Sabratha (in Libya) evidenced major damage and abandonment of sites in the fourth century (16, 41, 42, 43, 44). The new identification of catastrophic deposits, offshore-onshore correlations with turbidites and modelling of tsunami waves suggest the relationship with the 21 July 365 tsunamigenic earthquake (Mw ~ 8) of west Crete (Greece) and call for a better estimate of tsunami risk on the Mediterranean coastlines.

Introduction
The eastern Mediterranean has been the subject of several tsunamis related to catastrophic earthquakes in the past. Among the most destructive earthquakes are the Galilee earthquake in 3631,2,3, the Crete earthquake in 3654,5,6,7, the 1303 Rhodes Island earthquake2,8, 9. In central Mediterranean Sea, two major tsunamis occurred due to the 1693 earthquake offshore eastern Sicily10, and the 1908 Messina earthquake11,12,13,14. The record of the 365 Tsunami event west of Alexandria (northern Egypt) is evidenced in historical documents2,3, and in coastal deposits15. The record of paleotsunami have never been evidenced along the coastline of Tunisia. However, at Nabeul city (formerly Neapolis) in Tunisia, archaeological investigations suggest the occurrence of a catastrophic event that inundated the city after a landslide in the fourth century16. Near Tunisia, in Libya, records of coastal damage located in the archaeological remains of the city of Sabratha was attributed to the tsunami of 21 July 365 CE (Fig. 1; Ref.17). Despite the occurrence of tsunamigenic earthquakes in eastern Mediterranean, the study of geological record and impact of tsunamis on the Tunisian coastline is missing.
The ~ 650 km long east Tunisia coastline is mostly made of late Pleistocene and Holocene terraces with marine and alluvial deposits (Fig. 2; Ref.20). Marine deposits with Strombus Bubonius (Gastropoda Persististrombus latus), key indicator of the Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e in the Mediterranean Sea, are described at different elevations above sea level, i.e. at 7 to 13 m in Cap Bon20,21,22,23,24,25,26 and 13 to 32 m in the coastal area of Monastir25. Further southeast in the Gulf of Gabes and the Libyan border, Holocene marine terraces show a minimum 1.9 ± 0.10 m emergence above present-day sea level since about 6000 years ago26. These active phenomena are either correlated with a phase of stripping and erosion of soils on the slopes, or the coastal elevation as the result of the shoreline emergence of post-glacial hydro-isostatic effects22,27. The relatively low topography made of marine and alluvial terraces ranging between about 1.9 m and 32 m high (above sea level) favour sea wave inundations along east Tunisia. In addition, at the end of antiquity, coastal east Tunisia recorded phenomena of silted-up land and siltation that imply a severe sudden marine inundation27,28,29.
In this paper, we present the geological context of the coastal alluvial and marine terrace deposits, followed by the stratigraphic and sedimentological sequence of the chaotic deposits dated fourth century in the eastern Tunisian coastline. A search of historical documents and archives on the coastal and archaeological sites allows us to highlight the record of major damage during the fourth century CE. A turbidite deposit record collected east of Malta Island shows the correlation with the 365 CE Crete earthquake. Numerical modelling of tsunamis with the seismic source on the western Crete and Hellenic subduction zone help to validate the hypothesis of wave propagation generated by a major tsunamigenic earthquake in the Eastern Mediterranean. We then discuss the implications of the occurrence of a large tsunamigenic earthquake event on the North Africa and eastern Mediterranean coastlines.
Other geological evidence of paleotsunami records
Geological records of tsunamis generated by major subduction zone earthquakes have been identified and characterized in several regions worldwide30. Tsunami deposits inland can be distinguished from other deposits by their relatively thick (10 to 70 cm) chaotic sediments made of gravel in a silty-sand matrix mixed with broken shells and with no layering structure. The succession of intertidal fine sediments with flooded and buried forests probably related to six paleotsunami events during the last 7000 years is dug in the western United States31. Following the Sumatra tsunamigenic earthquake (2004, Mw 9.1), stratigraphic studies and geochemical analysis with isotopic dating of trench and core deposits of the Andaman Island reveal the occurrence of a minimum of seven tsunami events during the past 8000 years32.
In southern Sicily, sedimentological study and benthic foraminifera analysis aided by X-ray fluorescence data from cores collected in the northern part of Augusta Bay, allowed the identification of horizons related to three historical tsunamis correlated with the Current Era (CE), namely the 1542, 1693 and 1908 large earthquakes33,34.
In Tunisia, Di Vita35,36 refers to several Roman inscriptions dated to 368–370 CE, and among them that of Abbir-Thuburbo Maius on building retrofitting and sea-wave damage (Fig. 1). North of Sfax city, Khadraoui et al.37 infer a ~ 250 years cal. BP paleotsunami event from the study of lagoonal units in cores with coarse marine sands and shelly bed covered by deposits with charcoal particles and Roman pottery fragments. In coastal Cap Bon area near Tunis, May et al.38 show evidence of imbricated boulders accumulation, transported ~ 50 m inland and suggest a correlation with either an extreme storm event or a tsunami.
West of Alexandria coastline in northern Egypt, macrofossil determination, XRD analysis, magnetic susceptibility, particle size analysis, total organic and inorganic matter measurements, and radiocarbon dating of deposits in trenches and cores show a correlation with tsunamigenic earthquakes occurred along the Hellenic subduction zone in 1600 BCE and CE 365, 1303, and 18703,14. Furthermore, using geophysical surveys and radiocarbon dating of sediment cores collected east of the Malta escarpment in the Ionian Sea, Polonia et al.39 identify a thick (up to 20–25 m) megaturbidite contemporaneous with the CE 365 Crete earthquake.
Results
Geological and sedimentary analysis
Field investigations near the Roman site of Henchir El Majdoul located ~ 22 km north of Sfax city expose a ~ 4 m-high cliff outcrop with four distinct sedimentary units of coastal marine and alluvial deposits (Figs. 1 and 2A).
The survey of topographic profiles by means of differential GPS across the coastal terrace provides the elevations of the four units (Fig. 2B). From bottom to top, we distinguish a stratigraphic succession with units U1, U2, U3 overlain by recent soil U4 (Figs. 2 and 3, and Fig. SM2). We observe:
-
A 0.2 m to 0.5 m thick unit U2 made of broken shells, beachrock, fine marine sand mixed with alluvial sandy-gravel, Roman pottery, Roman masonry stones. abundant molluscs shells (gastropods and bivalves).
-
The chaotic U2 layer shows an erosion base limit that truncates U1 made of fine sand with Helix.
-
Fine sand with alluvial gravel Unit U3 covers the chaotic layer.
-
Radiocarbon dating of five charcoal samples collected immediately below and above the chaotic layer (Table SM1) and related Oxcal Bayesian simulation (Fig. SM3) provide an age bracket between 286 and 370 cal. CE which correlates with the 365 CE large earthquake tsunami of western Crete.
-
The tsunami wave propagation may generate turbidite—homogenite in between Malta and Tunisia.
The transition between the mixed deposits U2 and the underlying sedimentary unit U1 is abrupt and represented by an undulating erosion surface (Figs. 2B,C and 3). U2 near the coastline becomes less fossiliferous and richer in clasts and locally reworked mortar blocks towards the mainland (Fig. 3).
In uppermost U2 mixed deposits, centimetric to decimetric blocks are made of either the remains of wall stones of quartzite or beach rocks made of calcarenite fragments (Figs. 2C and 3). Before reaching the continent, U2 also shows the same species of molluscs with an increase of fish bones and teeth, bone fragments and crinoids. This fauna becomes relatively less abundant and more diverse.
Laterally, the marine fauna is represented essentially by the debris of shells of molluscs. In addition, the high concentrations of the marine geochemical proxy elements such as Sr, Ca and Cl (obtained from spectrometer measurements26, in the chaotic facies characterize a marine environment and suggest a biogenic origin. At the top of U2, we note the presence of a lenticular centimetric level of black silts rich in charcoal that contains some lithoclasts, pottery fragments and bioclasts (Fig. 3). Unit U3 (100 cm), is deposited directly above the erosional contact on the unit U2 and comprise sandy silt rich in centimetric to decimetric blocks made of wall stones of quartzite and calcarenite fragments characterizing a continental origin (Figs. 2C and 3). Unit U4 (30 cm) corresponds to alluvial deposits.
The Roman pottery artefacts in U2 consists in different items with a lamp, a dish and a bowl, and an amphora mostly indicating a period between the first and fourth century CE (see Fig. SM4 and related text in Supplementary Material). Accelero-mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon analysis of two charcoal samples (A1 and A2) collected at ~ 0.10 m below Unit U2 at top of Unit U1 provides the following 2σ (94.5%) calibrated CE (current era) ages: A1 = 80–230 and A4 = 236–385, while three charcoal samples A11, A12, and A13 collected at ~ 0.02 m above U2 at the base of Unit U3) show the following 2σ (94.5%) calibrated CE: A11 = 295–577; A12 = 252–556 and A13 = 249–541 (Table SM1 and Fig. SM3).
The stratigraphy of the mixed deposits (U2) of Henchir El Majdoul with several blocks not laid flat shows a chaotic deposition. The abundance of a diversified marine fauna (molluscs, foraminifera, ostracods, see Fig. 3), the reworked pebbles and boulders in U2 and truncated U1 surface, indicate a transport and a sedimentation caused by the influence of a violent marine current (runup wave) that invaded the continental part of the back beach (Figs. 2C and 3) toward the period 286–370 CE (2σ; see Fig. SM3) that brackets U2. Offshore records of high energy and megaturbidites are also observed over a wide region offshore east of Tunisia and the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, and between the tectonically active Calabria and Hellenic subduction zones39,40. Sedimentological reconstructions with dating suggest that the tsunami following the CE 365 Crete earthquake produced giant turbidity currents along a front over 2000 km long, and particularly along the Malta escarpment from northern Africa to Italy (Fig. 1).
Archeological and historical evidence of earthquake damage
The search of documents and archives on the archaeological sites and their history highlights the damage and the decline of several sites and localities during the fourth century along the eastern Tunisian coast (Fig. 1). From the end of the Punic to the Roman period, several authors report the occurrence of significant damage in archaeological sites during the fourth century. Meninx Island (now Djerba, Fig. 1), the largest Roman town of the Tunisian coast, adopted the new name Girba (from Antonin's sailing itinerary book and Latin geographer, according to Julius Honorius Orator in his Cosmographia) following inundations and damage in the second half of the fourth century41,42. In the Gulf of Gabes, field investigations highlight the occurrence of a rhexistasis phase (stripping and entrainment of soils, erosion of soft rocks on the slopes by runoff and colluvium, and correlative impasto of the lower parts of the topography by the mobilized materials) dated at the end of the Roman period43,44. A particularly revealing site in this respect is the Henchir Chaabane (33.36° N; 11.13° E) where an ancient Roman quarry is being inundated and cleared by the sea from the detrital cover at the fourth century. Close to Djerba (Fig. 1), in Wadi Ogla (33.56° N, 11.09° E) and in the neighbouring river Wadi Ennouili, a 4 m thick terrace contains abundant pottery shards dated to the 4th or fifth century CE as markers of extensive damage (Fig. 1; Ref.44). The same phenomenon is found towards the northern end of the Gulf of Gabès, in the islet of Djezira (35.1678° N; 11.0791° E) where a significant layer of colluvium also packs shards of Roman pottery. South of the city of Sfax, extensive archaeological studies describe the coastal city of Thyna (now Henchir Thyna; Fig. 1) that was a blooming town during second and third century CE and underwent severe damage and restoration that shows new houses (with double wall design in Fig. SM5, and damaged bath in Fig. SM6) with western migration (away from the sea) in the fourth century44,45. All along the coast of Sfax and near the current shoreline, most of Roman constructions have been destroyed, while all the Byzantine constructions (such as Ksar Younga at 30 km south of Sfax) remain intact.
Our field observations show evidence of restoration work of buildings in excavations of Thyna city dated using pottery fragments and archaeological artefacts of the fourth century (Fig. SM4 in Supplementary Material). To the north, at Hadrumète (now Sousse, Fig. 1) which was until the third century CE an extensive and prosperous city with an important harbour, only the two moles remain (one to the north near the Quarantine and the other to the south) as well as sections of an intermediate breakwater equipped with vents to dampen the strong waves. According to the Anonymi Stadiasmus Maris Magni41, the city was abandoned due to the silted port and related economic problems at the end of 4th or at the beginning of fifth century CE. According to Kamoun et al.29, Acholla city (located along the coastline about 45 km north of Sfax city) was also abandoned toward the 4th to fifth century after the construction of a pier, which deflected longshore drift currents, accelerated the leeward progradation of the sandspit sediments and finally led to the leeward silting of the coastal harbour habitats (Fig. SM5). Further north in the fourth century, Neapolis (now Nabeul, Fig. 1) was partially submerged and damaged by a catastrophic wave and experienced an important landslide16; the new set of observations and archeological dating correlates the catastrophic event of Neapolis to the tsunami of CE 365 (Ref.16; Fantar, personal communication).
Turbidite deposits offshore Tunisia contemporaneous of the 365 CE tsunami
The marine record that has the potential of reconstructing a more complete record of high-energy sedimentary events triggered by seismic activity. Indeed, the occurrence of deep sea megaturbidites deposited during the CE 365 event in east Mediterranean and near Malta Island suggest that the tsunami wave produced multiple far-field slope failures that resulted in stacked basal turbidites46.
The CE 365 tsunamigenic earthquake occurred in west Crete may have crossed the Mediterranean Sea to generate megaturbidites near the Malta escarpment and chaotic deposits on the Tunisian coast (Fig. 1).
The gravity core CALA-04 collected in the western Ionian Sea, close to the Malta escarpment (Fig. 1) reveals that turbidites and megaturbidites are prevalent in the flat deep basin floor where pelagites deposited during interseismic periods represent less than 10% of the total sediment emplaced during the last 2 kyrs (yellow layers in Fig. 4). Below the three Calabrian Arc seismo-turbidites (ST1, ST2 and ST3 in Fig. 4), a megabed known in the literature as Homogenite47, Augias turbidite48 or HAT (Homogenite/Augias turbidite)49 has peculiar sedimentological and compositional characters that make it unique in the historical sedimentary record. In core CALA-04 (Fig. 4) it is about 1, 70 m thick, but it can reach up to 20–25 m in open abyssal plains or in confined deep basins close to the Africa coast46,49. It is characterized by a sharp increase in sand content represented by a heterogeneous mixture of detrital mineral grains and biogenic components from different sources, whose mineralogy can be traced back to southern Italy, Malta and Africa margins50. 14C dating in this core provide an emplacement time window of CE 189-530 (Table SM1). A Calabrian Arc earthquake is unlikely to have triggered the deposition of such megabed because no major earthquakes are described in the catalogues during this time window. Moreover, average magnitude earthquakes from the Calabrian Arc usually produce the deposition of decimetric seismo-turbidites but not megabeds47.
The observed and cited damage in Table SM3 and the disappearance of several sites in coastal areas extending along more than 800 km from the city of Sabratha in Libya to the city of Neapolis in northern Tunisia suggest the occurrence of high amplitude waves (> 4 m) and extending for a minimum of 500 m westward inland (according to the altitude and outcrop of the chaotic deposit U2 at Henchir El Majdoul, respectively; see Figs. 2A,B and SM1). Such a catastrophic event should result from a high magnitude tsunamigenic earthquake in the eastern Mediterranean. In addition, archive documents6,13, 14 also show that the most significant tsunamigenic earthquake capable of affecting east Tunisia coast of is that of the Hellenic subduction zone of July 21, 365 with Mw ~ 8.0–8.57,9, 28. To validate this hypothesis, numerical modelling with a seismic source and rupture located west of Crete (Greece) has been carried out to explain the generation of large tsunami waves that can affect the eastern coast of Tunisia, as reported in the next Section.
Modelling
Large earthquakes associated with major tsunami waves occurred in 365, 1303 and 1870 along the western, central and eastern Hellenic subduction zone, respectively, have been reported by several authors2,3. The CE 365 major earthquake affected the whole east Mediterranean coastlines. We here use for tsunami numerical modelling the parameters of an Mw 8 earthquake, consistent with the rheological and dynamic properties of the tectonic structures and subduction zone (Ref.7; Fig. 1).
The geometric and kinematic properties of the fault zone are inferred mainly from the surface deformation and 7–9 m uplift measured along the coastline west of Crete and from damage distribution2,6, 7. We also use the scenario of an earthquake of similar moment magnitude occurring at approximately the same location51. This is possibly inspired but not directly meant to reproduce the 365 historical event. The fault parameters of the two selected scenarios are reported in Table 1. We used uniform slip on planar faults embedded in a homogeneous elastic half-space to calculate the initial instantaneous seafloor displacement (Ref.51; see for example Fig. 1 for the displacement corresponding to the fault model of 7).
Tsunami numerical modelling is performed using the nonlinear shallow water equations implemented in spherical coordinates in the Tsunami-HySEA finite volumes numerical code52,53) The SRTM30 + topography-bathymetry data are used (https://topex.ucsd.edu/WWW_html/srtm30_plus.html) with a 30 arc-sec resolution grid in the domain 5° E–37° E and 28.5° N-47.5° N. The simulation duration is set as 8 h for both sources. The modelled tsunamis affect the entire Central and Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Maximum tsunami wave and water energy fields modelled from both fault sources reach predominantly the Libyan Cyrenaica coastline, Gulf of Syrte and Gulf of Gabes in eastern Tunisia (Fig. 5), with slightly different patterns and intensities due to the differences in the source parameters. The maximum tsunami height values peak at ~ 22 and ~ 33 m in the near field, respectively for Lorito et al.54 and for Shaw et al.7 seismic sources. The simulation of maximum wave amplitude at this resolution is not suitable for detailed run-up modelling. To get an idea of the potential run-up for this type of sources, the values in eastern Tunisia (Fig. 6), picked at the 5 m isobath, are extrapolated at 1 m depth with the Green’s law55,56,57. The modelled values exceed 3 m at several locations along the coast of Sfax region.
Discussion and conclusion
The study of marine and alluvial terrace at Henchir site along the shoreline in southern Tunisia (north of Sfax city) shows evidence of a chaotic catastrophic layer that may be correlated with a past tsunami event. The stratigraphic, sedimentological, archaeological and isotopic dating evidence converges towards the identification of a catastrophic event in the fourth century along the east Tunisian coast.
The correlation between the chaotic unit U2 as described immediately north of Sfax city in Henchir El Mejdoul site and the CE 365 tsunamigenic earthquake is attested by the mixed marine and alluvial sedimentary content of U2 unit and made of mixed marine and alluvial deposits, Roman archaeological artefacts made of fragments of walls and pottery shards. The radiocarbon dating of charcoal samples that provides an age range of CE 236-541 and age estimate of Roman potteries are all consistent with the occurrence of a catastrophic event during the fourth century CE. Indeed, in addition of the stratigraphic evidence of catastrophic layer, the correlation between reports on damage and inundations in several archaeological cities from the northern Neapolis site (presently Nabeul) in eastern Tunisia to the southern Sabratha site in NW coastal Libya attests for the occurrence of a catastrophic event and tsunami wave during the fourth century CE. According to the historical earthquake catalogues and recent seismotectonic studies, no local major historical earthquake of the fourth century can account for such coastal damage in Tunisia58,59. The direct correspondence between the U2 deposit alone and the CE 365 tsunamigenic earthquake can be debated but the coincidence with the damage of numerous archaeological sites and economic collapse of Roman settlements supports the correlation with an earthquake capable of producing devastating effects over ~ 800 km long coastline (eastern Tunisia and northern Libya) which requires a large magnitude event that can only be ascribed to the Mediterranean subduction zones. In the Calabrian Arc no similar events are known in this time interval, while in the Hellenic Arc the CE 365 earthquake and tsunami are known to have produced basin-wide effects as far as Albania, southern Italy, and northern Africa along a front over 2000 km long.
The Hellenic subduction zone is the main source for the occurrence of a major earthquake tsunami in the east Mediterranean area. The NW–SE trending, NE dipping subduction zone in west Crete, and related earthquake rupture parameters has the potential for the generation of a destructive wave propagation that may affect the Tunisian – Libyan coastline (Fig. 6). Other earthquakes related to historical tsunamis in 1908, 1693, and 1169 affected southern Italy and among them the two latter only probably apply to the possible propagation to the Tunisia coastline54. However, the detailed studies of earthquake rupture sources with pure thrust mechanism on the ENE-WSW striking and NW dipping Calabria subduction zone, and related modelling of tsunami wave propagation imply 1.3 m uplift to the SE, to 0.6 m subsidence and predict 1–3 m high wave amplitudes in Sicily and neighbouring coastlines50,60. Although significant sea waves and submarine landslides were reported in this region, these historical earthquakes did not generate major tsunami waves with seafloor displacement and seismic energy that would affect North African and all the eastern Mediterranean coastlines.
Radiometric ages in an area of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea greater than 150,000 km2 provide evidence of a single basin-wide event within the time window CE 364–41554 that can be correlated with a catastrophic tsunami sourced from the CE 365 Crete megathrust earthquake that produced devastating effects including widespread massive sediment remobilization in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Seismic shaking from the Crete earthquake was probably unable to trigger mass movements 600–800 km from the epicentre where the HAT was sampled. Sedimentological and compositional reconstructions suggest that the tsunami following the Crete earthquake produced giant turbidity currents along a front over 2000 km long, from northern Africa to Italy. When the tsunami wave hit the steep Malta escarpment, it propagated on the shallow and wide continental shelf of the Tunisia-Sicily Channel as well as on the shelf of the Sirte and Gabes Gulf. The water back-surge eroded extensively the continental shelves triggering gigantic turbidity currents that transported shallow water detritus to the abyssal plain60.
The numerical modelling of tsunami wave propagation using 2 different seismic sources for the 365 major earthquake shows up to 4-m-high wave height that affect the coastal region of Tunisia. The height of the chaotic U2 deposit reaching 3 to 3.5 m high at Henchir El Majdoul site indicates the likely minimum wave height that overflowed the Tunisian coastline in CE 365. A recent assessment for the region points to a significant tsunami hazard on the coasts of Tunisia due to earthquake sources in the Mediterranean53. However, this is a region-wide model that has not addressed the details of the inundation probability with the high resolution of a local study (e.g. Ref.61). These results call for the development of a detailed local tsunami hazard assessment in coastal Tunisia.
